It was quite strange, really. Riku had never thought she would be dependant on another person for anything.
The girl had always been independent, and had never liked to be touched by anyone. Not a gentle touch on
the arm, not a tap on the shoulder, nothing. But, today, she found herself alone and in need of a Pokemon to
begin her journey with.
She walked into the lab and perused the Pokemon. Some were in their own Pokeballs, some were wandering
around.. she almost smiled at the general dissaray.
Causing chaos is usually my
thing, she thought.
Finally, the professor came out of a pile of papers. Her hair was a mess, Riku observed, as though she'd been
up all night. "Go ahead, choose a Pokemon. I assume that's why you're here..?" She trailed off, and Riku nodded
curtly and looked around some more. She had at first been set on a Totodile, but.. maybe not, now that she
saw all of the others.
In her periphials, she caught a glimpse of a strange, red spot in the air. It was glowing, and growing larger
by the moment. Soon it was larger than her head. A black, round object appeared to be floating in the middle.
"Gaaasstlyyy!" the glow moaned through a fanged mouth. Riku grinned - she had found her Pokemon.
"I want this one - his name is Vincent."

I wanted this sprite, k?
